In the name of God amen. I, Elizabeth Ann Seton, being in a weak state of 
health, but of a sound & disposing mind, do make & ordain this my last will and 
testament in the manner and form following-- 
Whereas of my surviving children two of them, viz. William and Richard can with 
the assistance of God provide by their prudence and exertions for their future 
support. I consider it my duty to provide as far as is in my power for my 
beloved daughter Catherine Josephine Seton whose situation claims all my 
attention--- Accordingly after granting to my beloved boys William and Richard 
all the blessings which a most affectionate mother can bestow and knowing that 
their brotherly hearts will perfectly coincide with me in the distinction I 
make, I leave and bequeath unto my beloved daughter Catherine Josephine all the 
real & personal property; either in my possession or bequeathed or to be left to 
me, at the time of my decease to her, her heirs and assigns forever, appointing 
sole Executrix of this my last will and testament Annulling & revoking any other 
will or wills heretofore by me made-- in Confirmation whereof I have hereunto 
set my hand and seal this 14th day of November Eighteen hundred and twenty.
